N.H. News Roundup: Happy Mother’s Day, NRA spends for Kelly Ayotte

This weekend is Mother's Day, so of course I'm going to use my midday forum to brag about my mine.

To call my mom a supermom is an understatement.

I'm one of four – all boys – and I know firsthand we weren't (and probably still aren't) easy to deal with. On top of that, there's three of us within 18 months of each other (I'm a twin). My dad traveled a lot during the week for business, so that meant Mom was all alone with four growing boys.

We all played sports. We all played different sports. Yet we always made it to practices and games on time. We got a wakeup call and had breakfast waiting for us before school almost every morning. There were always other neighbors and friends around her house that weren't her kids, yet she made them feel at home – and fed them.

I've been out out the house now for a while, but I still call her when I'm sick or need a pick-me-up after a long day.

She does so much for so many other people, and to say I'm grateful for my mom is unfair. I owe so much more than my gratitude, and I think she knows it, too!

So to the strongest lady I know, I just want to say it again: I love you, Mom.
